  <title>Victoria Beckham Teaches Son To Save The Children</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/63-ashley-parker&quot;&gt;Ashley Parker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girl&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/179-victoria-beckham&quot;&gt;Victoria Beckham&lt;/a&gt; and 10-year old son Brooklyn took a two-day trip to Clay County, Kentucky, on behalf of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/192-save-the-children&quot;&gt;Save the Children&lt;/a&gt; this week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beckham is speaking out about childhood poverty after visiting some of the poorest children in America. She said the visit showed her the need for all children to have an equal start in life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clay County has a mean income of just under $20,000 per household, which makes it the poorest area in America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beckham taught kids how to play football, read books to them, and passed out free Adidas sneakers and backpacks. She also went to several homes to talk to parents about nutrition and education.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brooklyn learned how important it is for his generation to help. Beckham said, &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m pleased Brooklyn is learning that, by helping and joining other children, he can play a role in making his generation the greatest yet.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Melanie Brown Spends Seven Days On The Breadline</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/63-ashley-parker&quot;&gt;Ashley Parker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girl&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/898-melanie-brown&quot;&gt;Melanie Brown&lt;/a&gt; recently spent a week with a poor family taping a documentary entitled &amp;#8220;Seven Days on the Breadline.&amp;#8221; She is now urging UK politicians to do more to help those receiving welfare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She traveled back to her hometown of Leeds, England, where she stayed with unemployed single mother, Elaine Henry, and her five children, ranging from ages 6-18.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before arriving, Brown knew nothing about the family or the state of the house. She was shocked by how decrepit the home was. She helped the family make the most of the financial aid they receive each week, and also encouraged them to keep up on chores around the house.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It didn&amp;#8217;t take long for Brown to realize that the family wasn&amp;#8217;t lazy, but had lost hope for having anything better. They were depressed by their current status and had essentially given up. Brown thinks the government could change this by offering a community outlet for children and teenagers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brown hopes the show &amp;#8220;will make people think twice about people on benefits, rather than calling them lazy money grabbers. On the whole I think the majority could be encouraged to do a bit more if the government would step in. If you do not give people a way out, educate them, provide them with somewhere to live, and a community centre for them to visit and be stimulated, then how can you expect them to have the urge to get up and do anything with their lives?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>World Cup To Begin With Charity Concert</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A major charity concert event is being planned to kick off the 2010 Football World Cup in South Africa next June.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lineup will not be released until January, but the &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8292894.stm&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/span&gt; has reported rumors that&lt;/a&gt; the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girls&lt;/a&gt; may reform for the gig, to take place on 10 June at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The show will be produced by Kevin Wall &amp;#8211; who was behind the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/10-live-8&quot;&gt;Live 8&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/524-live-earth&quot;&gt;Live Earth&lt;/a&gt; concerts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are going to have a lot of the major African artists and really it&amp;#8217;s going to be about Africa so the slots for international artists are a rarity,&amp;#8221; said Wall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proceeds from the concert will go to FIFA&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/worldwideprograms/20centres2010.html&quot;&gt;20 Centres For 2010&lt;/a&gt; campaign, which aims &amp;#8220;to achieve positive social change through football by building twenty Football for Hope Centres for public health, education and football across Africa. The centres will address local social challenges in disadvantaged areas and improve education and health services for young people. 20 Centres for 2010 will promote social development through football long after the final whistle of the 2010 &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;FIFA&lt;/span&gt; World Cup, leaving a tangible social legacy for Africa.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US$10 million is required to create the centers, and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;FIFA&lt;/span&gt; is contributing 500 dollars for every goal scored in the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;FIFA&lt;/span&gt; World Cup qualifiers (a minimum investment of over US$1 million).&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Victoria Beckham Wears Charity On Her Finger</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/179-victoria-beckham&quot;&gt;Victoria Beckham&lt;/a&gt; was spotted flying into London on Monday, wearing her support for charity on her finger.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girl&lt;/a&gt; and wife of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/49-david-beckham&quot;&gt;David Beckham&lt;/a&gt; was sporting a &#163;15,000 jewelled ring created by designer Stephen Webster. The ring will be auctioned to raise money for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/516-malaria-no-more&quot;&gt;Malaria No More&lt;/a&gt;, a charity she and her husband work closely with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a fabulous statement piece and I&amp;#8217;ve loved wearing it, it&amp;#8217;s inspiring to see designers like Stephen working the power of fashion to save lives,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;quot;Malaria is such an important issue, killing more children under five in Africa than any other single disease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m crossing my fingers this collaboration will generate loads of buzz and funds for new charity Malaria No More UK.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ring &amp;#8211; and 360 replicas &amp;#8211; will go on sale at online retailer &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ASOS&lt;/span&gt;.com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I designed the mosquito ring for an important cause but also to be chic and cool to wear. Seeing Victoria sporting it makes me hope it&amp;#8217;s succeeded on both counts,&amp;#8221; said designer Webster.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Geri Halliwell Launches UN Campaign In Nepal</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girl&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/559-geri-halliwell&quot;&gt;Geri Halliwell&lt;/a&gt; launched a campaign to help women suffering from gender based violence in Nepal last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Goodwill Ambassador of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/363-unfpa&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;UNFPA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the United Nations Population Fund, made an impassioned plea for the protection of women as she joined Nepal&amp;#8217;s Prime Minister, Madhav Kumar Nepal, in launching a national campaign to stop violence against women.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Violence against women and girls is not acceptable in any country; it&amp;#8217;s not acceptable in the United Kingdom and it&amp;#8217;s not acceptable in Nepal,&amp;#8221; said Ms. Halliwell. &amp;quot;Though it&amp;#8217;s the 21st century, mothers are still dying in childbirth and subjected to violence within the home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Women deserve to be empowered in all areas, in health, education, and to feel safe. It&amp;#8217;s a proven fact; a strong healthy educated mother is the key to a healthy, prosperous country. We all benefit: we take care of them, they take care of us.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Launching the year-long campaign that he will champion, Prime Minister Nepal declared 2010 the Nepali Year to End Gender-Based Violence. He committed to helping to end such violence and challenged Nepalis to make similar personal pledges.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The campaign is expected to engage many partners, including ministries, political parties, the police, army, the judiciary, civil society and development partners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ms. Halliwell took part in the launch during a three-day goodwill mission that also highlighted the problems of maternal death and injuries, such as uterine prolapse. A Nepalese woman dies of childbirth every four hours, while 1 in 10 suffer from prolapse, which is sometimes called &amp;#8216;fallen womb&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;UNFPA&lt;/span&gt; supports Nepal in reproductive health, women&amp;#8217;s empowerment and population and development strategies. It assists the Government in improving the quality of health services, such as emergency obstetric care, by helping to increase the availability of trained health workers and medical equipment. It also supports access to voluntary family planning, skilled attendance at birth and quick transportation to maternal health facilities, which are among the most effective means of reducing deaths and injuries during pregnancy or childbirth.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Fashion designers and entertainers are joining forces to raise much needed funds for children in Zimbabwe, at the inaugural Ndoro Children&amp;#8217;s Charities fund-raising gala evening at The Dorchester, London on 17th September, 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The situation in Zimbabwe is critical. One in four children are orphans due to the Aids crisis, and with the economic crisis and political unrest, it is tragic state of affairs. We are a small charity focused on making a better life for children all over the world,&amp;#8221; says Ronald Ndoro, Operations Manager and son of the founder Roseline Ndoro.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The gala night combines music and fashion and highlights including music from Michelle Williams of Destiny&amp;#8217;s Child, Nate Evans&amp;#8217; The Temptations, Mutya Buena and The London Community Gospel Choir. They will also be joined by Headphones &amp;amp; Heels, girl-team DJs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;20 British and leading designers also join together for a catwalk show and high-profile auction. Fashion leaders such as Nicole Farhi, Maria Grachvogel and Mark Jacobs are participating as well as rising stars from the British fashion industry; Charlotte Olympia, Olivia Rubin, Mac-Millan and Bordelle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The night will be hosted by a raft of talent to include Michelle Williams, Konnie Huq, Nick Ede, Leah Charles and Bobak Kianoush, with a guestlist that at this stage includes former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girls&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/899-emma-bunton&quot;&gt;Emma Bunton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/898-melanie-brown&quot;&gt;Melanie Brown&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/559-geri-halliwell&quot;&gt;Geri Halliwell&lt;/a&gt;, as well as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1109-erin-oconnor&quot;&gt;Erin O&amp;#8217;Connor&lt;/a&gt; and many others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ndoro Children&amp;#8217;s Charities was formed to help children in deprived developing countries with an initial focus on Zimbabwe. The aim of the night is to raise &#163;100,000 which will go towards building a new orphanage home, school and clinic in Zimbabwe, 80 miles from Harare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The charity has already raised enough money to open two homes in Harare for 16 street children or orphans to live and attend local schools. The properties are currently being re-furbished and are due to open this August.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ndoro Children&amp;#8217;s Charities was set up by Roseline Ndoro, who visited her home country Zimbabwe in 2005 after having been away for 10 years. She was shocked by what she saw and became quickly aware of the plight of the people, especially children orphaned due to &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;, TB and cancer. Roseline then became ill with Breast Cancer and then unexpectedly her long-term partner died. Following discussions with her family here in the UK, she decided to setup the charity which was officially launched in 2008. She has recently been joined her by son, Ronald Ndoro, who gave up his training as a lawyer to head up the charity.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girl&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/579-melanie-chisholm&quot;&gt;Melanie C&lt;/a&gt; is just one of a group of celebrities set to rock the Royal Albert Hall as part of Hard Rock Caf&#233;&amp;#8217;s Pinktober initiative for breast cancer research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joining the British singer will be &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/398-joss-stone&quot;&gt;Joss Stone&lt;/a&gt;, 80&amp;#8217;s girl group Bananarama, Tulisa Contostavlos from N-Dubz, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/422-jamelia&quot;&gt;Jamelia&lt;/a&gt;, Bonnie Tyler, and Escala. Sharon Corr of Irish group The Corrs will also play the Pinktober gig on November 1, presented by Hard Rock Cafe and held in aid of breast cancer charity the Caron Keating Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I always try and support as many charities as I can and breast cancer is extra important to me, being a woman &amp;#8211; I hope to make a small difference,&amp;#8221; said Joss Stone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This year&amp;#8217;s concert celebrates the tenth anniversary of the initiative, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1294-melissa-etheridge-kelsey-grammar-matthew-perry-a-week-of-charity-events&quot;&gt;which last year featured a performance&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/381-melissa-etheridge&quot;&gt;Melissa Etheridge&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m really happy to take part in another fundraising event for the Caron Keating Foundation following my Pinktober show at Hard Rock Cafe Manchester last year,&amp;#8221; said Mel C. &amp;#8220;Hard Rock organize their events so well and I am delighted that this show at the Royal Albert Hall is donating profits to such a wonderful charity.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Geri Halliwell Presents Childbirth Report To Government</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girl&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/559-geri-halliwell&quot;&gt;Geri Halliwell&lt;/a&gt; has launched a campaign to help provide better care for women during childbirth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Halliwell joined Sarah Brown &#8211; wife of British Prime Minister &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1873-gordon-brown&quot;&gt;Gordon Brown&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; at the UK&amp;#8217;s House of Commons on Wednesday, May 6, to highlight a new parliamentary report which claims up to 20 million women suffer serious injuries during the birth process each year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Women are at the heart of their families, communities and countries,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;#8220;Their health and survival has a huge impact on the economy and the environment, and on peace and stability. This is not about charity &amp;#8211; this is about humanity.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The singer was at the event as part of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1170-white-ribbon-alliance&quot;&gt;White Ribbon Alliance&lt;/a&gt;, an international coalition of individuals and organizations formed to promote increased public awareness of the need to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for all women and newborns around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you save the life of a mother, so much survives with her,&amp;#8221; said Sarah Brown. &amp;quot;For if a health system can cope with mothers in pregnancy and childbirth, then it will be able to cope with so much else. A health system that works for mother will work also for early infant care, for vaccinations, for infection control, for blood transfusions, for emergency surgery for every member of the community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Today&amp;#8217;s report gives a host of examples that show that when people have access to health care, mothers do not die or suffer injury in childbirth. It tells the story that by building for mothers you build for everyone. The world relies on women and mothers who are well and full of energy for all that they do. That is why maternal health and this report are so important.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Geri Halliwell Donates To Charity Auction</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone wanting to get their hands on clothes or memorabilia from the stars should head to a fashion show and auction in Walberswick, near Southwold in the UK, to benefit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/74-comic-relief&quot;&gt;Comic Relief&lt;/a&gt; next month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The auction will feature items such as a designer jacket owned by Jo Brand, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1259-davina-mccall&quot;&gt;Davina McCall&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; dresses, a t-shirt signed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1458-twiggy&quot;&gt;Twiggy&lt;/a&gt;, a shrug owned by former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girl&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/559-geri-halliwell&quot;&gt;Geri Halliwell&lt;/a&gt; and one of Clive Anderson&amp;#8217;s ties. Also going under the hammer are a Bourne Ultimatum &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;DVD&lt;/span&gt; signed by director Paul Greengrass and a signed copy of a Gerri Halliwell children&amp;#8217;s book.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is something for everyone over this weekend from children to adults to enjoy and hopefully people will don a red nose and spend lots of money,&amp;#8221; organizer Angie Power told the East Anglian Daily Times. &amp;#8220;I have really done a lot of begging and asking for these items and hopefully it should be good fun and will lift people&amp;#8217;s spirits in this recession period.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Buy Once Give Twice With The Spice Girls</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girl&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/898-melanie-brown&quot;&gt;Melanie Brown&lt;/a&gt; is holding a New Years Sale for charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fans of the singer can get their hands on a range of items such as her bikini top, tea cups, coasters, curtains, glasses, ornaments, cushions, shoes, bowls, trousers, shirts &#8211; almost anything you could wish for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proceeds from the sale will go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/440-clic-sargent&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CLIC&lt;/span&gt; Sargent&lt;/a&gt;, a charity that aims to provide financial and practical support to families through specialist care in hospital and home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The auction ends on January 22 and can be accessed &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buyoncegivetwice.co.uk/auctions/mel_b_sale&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Mel B isn&amp;#8217;t the only Spice Girl selling her stuff for charity at the moment: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/579-melanie-chisholm&quot;&gt;Melanie C&lt;/a&gt; is auctioning the shoes she wore at the launch of the Spice Girls reunion tour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The size 39 black Carvela suede high heels with peep toes come with a signed certificate from the singer: &amp;#8220;These shoes were special to me because&amp;#8230; I wore them on a very special day, the launch of the Spice Girls re-union tour, they brought me lots of luck.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proceeds from the sale will go to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/457-roy-castle-lung-foundation&quot;&gt;Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, the only charity in the UK wholly dedicated to defeating lung cancer, the biggest cancer killer in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Dancing has been such a big part of my life, so I jumped at the chance to help De-Feet Lung Cancer,&amp;#8221; said Melanie C. &amp;#8220;There are so many ways you can get your feet involved in fundraising. So please join me &amp;#8211; put your best foot forward and be part of the &amp;#8216;De-Feet&amp;#8217; fun!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The auction runs until January 12 and can be accessed through &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buyoncegivetwice.co.uk/lots/mel-cs-black-carvela-suede-heels&quot;&gt;Buy Once Give Twice&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Mel B Sells Out For Charity</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/17-elizabeth-willoughby&quot;&gt;Elizabeth Willoughby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girls&lt;/a&gt; singer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/898-melanie-brown&quot;&gt;Melanie Brown&lt;/a&gt; was moving herself from the UK to the US, she found that keeping her English manor&amp;#8217;s contents was one household too many &amp;#8211; so &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1275-mel-b-wants-to-spice-up-your-home&quot;&gt;she auctioned everything on eBay&lt;/a&gt; and donated the proceeds to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/440-clic-sargent&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CLIC&lt;/span&gt; Sargent&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brown&amp;#8217;s motorbike, grand piano, furniture, clothing and Spice Girl paraphernalia translated into thousands of pounds for the children&amp;#8217;s cancer charity. Where every day ten children are diagnosed with cancer, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CLIC&lt;/span&gt; Sargent aims to provide financial and practical support to families through specialist care in hospital and home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brown was proud to contribute to something meaningful, Evening News 24 reported. &amp;#8220;The older you get, the more you realise that if people are giving you something, you have a responsibility to do something in return, by lending your time and name and support.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Celebrities Redesign Children's TV Character</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, &lt;em&gt;Look To TheStars&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1522-daniel-craig-donates-watch-to-charity-auction&quot;&gt;brought you news about a new auction&lt;/a&gt; featuring James Bond star &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/388-daniel-craig&quot;&gt;Daniel Craig&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; watch to raise cash for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/391-children-in-need&quot;&gt;Children in Need&lt;/a&gt; charity. Well, here&amp;#8217;s something similar for our younger readers: a whole bunch of stars have given one of the characters of an award-winning children&amp;#8217;s TV show a makeover, and they want you to bid for them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girls&amp;#8217;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/579-melanie-chisholm&quot;&gt;Melanie C&lt;/a&gt;, Britain&amp;#8217;s Got Talent winner George Sampson and former Home And Away actress Isla Fisher are among the celebrities who have come up with new designs for Igglepiggle, a central character from &lt;em&gt;In The Night Garden&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The framed and signed designs are up for sale right now over on &lt;a href=&quot;http://members.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&amp;amp;userid=igglepiggle_celebritynewlook&quot;&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt;, and all proceeds will go to the BBC&amp;#8217;s Children in Need campaign to help support disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. But hurry, the auction ends on November 12.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And if that&amp;#8217;s not enough, there&amp;#8217;s also a motorbike, a Bechstein baby grand piano, a &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;MTV&lt;/span&gt; Cribs dining table, and an assortment of jugs, tables and toasters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I feel happy to be able to contribute to such an important cause,&amp;#8221; said the 33-year-old singer.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/457-roy-castle-lung-foundation&quot;&gt;Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation&lt;/a&gt; has launched its new fundraising campaign &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1124-these-boots-were-made-for-charity&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;De-Feet Lung Cancer&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with a fabulous celebrity shoe auction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is designed to raise awareness and funds to help the charity in its fight against lung cancer &amp;#8211; the biggest cancer killer in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;De-Feet&lt;/em&gt; campaign has been inspired by the charity&amp;#8217;s namesake, dancing legend Roy Castle. Celebrities from the worlds of sport, music, film and television have joined together to support the &lt;em&gt;De-Feet&lt;/em&gt; campaign by donating a pair of their treasured footwear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sir &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/441-cliff-richard&quot;&gt;Cliff Richard&lt;/a&gt;, personal friend of Roy Castle and Life President of the charity said: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve donated a pair of shoes (hopefully not too smelly!) to be auctioned and I hope there&amp;#8217;ll be lots of keen bidders! I would like to encourage everyone to support this important campaign to raise much-needed funds for its life-saving work. &lt;em&gt;De-Feet&lt;/em&gt; is a great way to show support for the Foundation&amp;#8217;s work &amp;#8211; go on, choose your unique pair of celebrity shoes from the auction list, and start bidding!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also up for sale are the shoes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/197-daniel-radcliffe&quot;&gt;Daniel Radcliffe&lt;/a&gt; wore in the &lt;em&gt;Harry Potter&lt;/em&gt; films, the shoes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/421-judi-dench&quot;&gt;Judi Dench&lt;/a&gt; wore in the &lt;em&gt;James Bond&lt;/em&gt; films, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1399-lewis-hamilton&quot;&gt;Lewis Hamilton&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; shoes from the Monaco Grand Prix, the black suede heels &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/579-melanie-chisholm&quot;&gt;Melanie C&lt;/a&gt; wore when the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girls&lt;/a&gt; reunion was launched, Robbie Keane and Michael Carrick&amp;#8217;s football boots, Andrew Flintoff&amp;#8217;s cricket shoes, and many more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The auction, which launched today and runs until October 3, can be accessed through www.roycastle.org/de-feet. The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only charity in the UK wholly dedicated to defeating lung cancer, the biggest cancer killer in the world.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>These Boots Were Made For Charity</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The native people of North America have a saying: &amp;#8220;Before you judge someone, first walk a mile in their moccasins.&amp;#8221; Well, now you can, because a group of celebrities are donating their footwear to a special auction to raise money for charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/457-roy-castle-lung-foundation&quot;&gt;Roy Castle Lung Foundation&lt;/a&gt; is launching the auction as part of their De-Feet campaign, which hopes to defeat lung cancer through research and education. And they have already gathered shoes from &lt;em&gt;Harry Potters&amp;#8217;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/197-daniel-radcliffe&quot;&gt;Daniel Radcliffe&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;em&gt;James Bond&amp;#8217;s&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/421-judi-dench&quot;&gt;Dame Judi Dench&lt;/a&gt;, Formula 1&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1399-lewis-hamilton&quot;&gt;Lewis Hamilton&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girls&amp;#8217;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/579-melanie-chisholm&quot;&gt;Melanie C&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1708-take-that&quot;&gt;Take That&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1707-gary-barlow&quot;&gt;Gary Barlow&lt;/a&gt; for the sale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I lost my husband, Michael, to lung cancer in 2001, which is why I believe so passionately that this is the way forward,&amp;#8221; said Judi Dench. &amp;#8220;I am one of the thousands of people affected by this injustice. Please join me in this fight against lung cancer. Together we can make a profound difference.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bidding starts on September 12 and can be accessed via &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.roycastle.org/de-feet/celebrity.htm&quot;&gt;De-Feet&amp;#8217;s website&lt;/a&gt;. Make a bid &#8211; it will be good for your sole.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Victoria Beckham to Sell Spice Tour Outfits for Charity</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/33-linda-burton&quot;&gt;Linda Burton&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/179-victoria-beckham&quot;&gt;Victoria Beckham&lt;/a&gt; wants to help you add a little &amp;#8220;spice&amp;#8221; to your wardrobe. Six of the dazzling outfits that Posh Spice wore during the recent &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girls&lt;/a&gt; reunion tour will soon be available to the highest bidder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Posh is auctioning off six Roberto Cavalli designs, including a &amp;#8220;diamond-dress&amp;#8221; hand-stiched with thousands of Swarovski crystals, in hopes of raising one million pounds for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1044-victoria-and-david-beckham-charitable-trust&quot;&gt;The Victoria and David Beckham Charitable Trust&lt;/a&gt;, which helps underprivileged children. Victoria&amp;#8217;s mother, Jackie Adams, manages the trust.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Victoria, 34, said &amp;quot; I love all the outfits &#8211; for the memories they hold and for how beautiful they are,&amp;quot; she told the Sunday Mirror.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But there has been a lot of interest in them and I want to harness that for charity.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A spokesperson added &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s time for any high rollers out there to get their checkbooks out.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Children in Need</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/2-myrlia-purcell&quot;&gt;Myrlia Purcell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The stars have lined up for the 2007 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/391-children-in-need&quot;&gt;Children in Need&lt;/a&gt; Appeal, the BBC&amp;#8217;s annual TV charity event. Airing tonight on &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/span&gt; One, the evening of special programming will be hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1601-terry-wogan&quot;&gt;Terry Wogan&lt;/a&gt;, and will feature special live performances by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girls&lt;/a&gt; in LA, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/406-kylie-minogue&quot;&gt;Kylie Minogue&lt;/a&gt;, Westlife, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt;, David Gray and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/152-sugababes&quot;&gt;Sugababes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Spice Girls are also helping out by donating funds from their new single &amp;#8220;Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)&amp;#8221;. [Amazon: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XQ9N2W?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=looktothestar-20&amp;amp;link_code=as3&amp;amp;camp=211189&amp;amp;creative=373489&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B000XQ9N2W&quot;&gt;CD&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Y0BG04?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=looktothestar-20&amp;amp;link_code=as3&amp;amp;camp=211189&amp;amp;creative=373489&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B000Y0BG04&quot;&gt;MP3&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Irish boy band Boyzone have reformed for the event; the band split seven years ago when lead singer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/685-ronan-keating&quot;&gt;Ronan Keating&lt;/a&gt; went solo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year&amp;#8217;s appeal brought in &#163;33 million ($66 million) for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/391-children-in-need&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt;, which strives to improve the lives of disadvantaged children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we are reporting in other news today, Children in Need is also one of the beneficiaries of a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/429-celebrities-lend-a-hand-to-charity&quot;&gt;new fundraising book of celebrity handprints&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Mandela Hopes Spice Girls Will Reunite For Charity Birthday Party</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/1-steve-purcell&quot;&gt;Steve Purcell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;British newspaper The Mirror reported that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/543-nelson-mandela&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela&lt;/a&gt; is keen to reunite the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/897-spice-girls&quot;&gt;Spice Girls&lt;/a&gt; for a charity party on July 28 to celebrate his 89th birthday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A source was quoted as saying, &amp;#8220;It would make Nelson&amp;#8217;s day if the girls performed,&amp;#8221; and confirmed that individual invitations have been sent to the former band members &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/179-victoria-beckham&quot;&gt;Victoria Beckham&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/559-geri-halliwell&quot;&gt;Geri Halliwell&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/579-melanie-chisholm&quot;&gt;Melanie C&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/898-melanie-brown&quot;&gt;Melanie Brown&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since his retirement from the South African presidency in 1999, Mandela has devoted his remaining years to peace and charity work through his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/544-nelson-mandela-foundation&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, and his birthday has even been trademarked for charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His birthday celebrations have been accompanied in recent years by the peace-oriented Nelson Mandela Lectures, which have featured such guest speakers as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/20-bill-clinton&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt;, Archbishop &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/580-desmond-tutu&quot;&gt;Desmond Tutu&lt;/a&gt; and Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai. In 2003, Mandela gave an hour-long address to a young audience of 2 billion on international music channel &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;MTV&lt;/span&gt; concerning &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;, the struggle for democracy, and reconciliation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other music celebrities invited to this year&amp;#8217;s celebrations include Queen guitarist &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/351-brian-may&quot;&gt;Brian May&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/696-peter-gabriel&quot;&gt;Peter Gabriel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In related news, $27,000 was raised this week in a &lt;a href=&quot;/news/225-mandela-clinton-auction-star-encounters-for-charity&quot;&gt;charity auction&lt;/a&gt; for the chance to have tea with Mandela.&lt;/p&gt;
